Let x = amount of sales (in dollars)

The salary is $400 and there's an additional 0.06x dollars added on to get to the goal of 790. The equation is therefore

<span>400+0.06x = 790
</span>
Let's solve for x

400+0.06x = 790
<span>400+0.06x-400 = 790-400
</span>0.06x = 390
0.06x/0.06 = 390/0.06
x = 6500

The final answer is 6500

This means he must have $6,500 in sales.

Solve each equation. Record your work and check your solution. <br> a. 5(x-2)+(-9)= -7(1-x)
Daniel [21]

The solution for equation is x = -6

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

<em><u>Given equation is:</u></em>

5(x-2) + (-9) = -7(1-x)

We have to solve the equation

According to Bodmas rule, if an expression contains brackets ((), {}, []) we have to first solve or simplify the bracket followed by of (powers and roots etc.), then division, multiplication, addition and subtraction from left to right

Therefore, solve for brackets in given equation

5(x-2) + (-9) = -7(1-x)\\\\5x - 10 -9 = -7 + 7x

Solve for terms in left hand side of equation

5x - 19 = -7+7x

Move the variables to one side and constants to other side

7x -5x = -19+7\\\\2x = -12\\\\Divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 2\\\\x = -6

Thus the solution for equation is x = -6

A mistake was made in mixing the lemonade—<br> PLEASE HELP!!
beks73 [17]

Answer:

Part A:

4 + x = y

0.5*4 + 1*x = 0.7*y

x = 8/3\ quarts\ of\ 100\%\ solution

y = 20/3\ quarts\ of\ 70\%\ solution

Part B:

x + y = 10

2x + 3y = 23

x = 7 and y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

The inicial concentration of the lemonade is 50%, and the volume is 4 quarts, and we will add x quarts of a lemonade with a concentration of 100%, so the total volume will be y, and the concentration will be 0.7, so we have that:

4 + x = y

0.5*4 + 1*x = 0.7*y

Using the value of y from the first equation in the second one, we have:

2 + x = 0.7*(4 + x)

2 + x = 2.8 + 0.7x

0.3x = 0.8

x = 8/3\ quarts

y = 4 + 8/3 = 20/3\ quarts

Part B:

If he shoots a total of ten targets, we can write the equation:

x + y = 10

Each stationary target is 2 points, and each moving target is 3 points, so if the total points is 23, we have:

2x + 3y = 23

If we subtract the second equation by two times the first one, we have:

2x + 3y - 2*(x + y) = 23 - 2*10

2x + 3y - 2x - 2y = 23 - 20

y = 3

x + 3 = 10 ⇒ x = 7
